Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 152: Suicide Bombers

Heavy footsteps echoed into the night, the footsteps were hurried and caused the ground to tremble slightly.

Two large beasts ran through the forest ahead of the others, brushing their large bodies against the trees and not caring about the little critters that were crushed.

One of the beasts, a massive water lion, ran at the front. His blue scales glittered and clashed against each other as his body moved.

Every oscillation of his limbs was followed by a whip of water following behind him and pushing him forward. He moved like a four-legged snake, slipping past the trees in ways that most wouldn't consider possible.

The dorsal fin on his back opened and posed periodically, mostly when his body was enveloped in a blob of water and propelled forward.

Wadolius moved so fast on land that one could only guess just how fast he would be underwater since that was where he was dominant.

Catching up just behind Wadolius's moving form was another lion with a slightly bigger and bulkier stature.

This lion moved with the sound of six footsteps, footsteps that were very heavy and caused the ground to quake slightly.

Baba, the earth lion, had six limbs, four front limbs, and two hind limbs. They moved in synchrony, pushing Baba to speeds most creatures with four legs couldn't dream of reaching.

On each of his paws were thick and long black claws that dug into the earth whenever they touched upon the ground.

His mane was full, dark, and bouncy, showcasing the majesty of all male lions. Every strand of hair of his mane jiggled as he moved, creating a mesmerizing scene.

Baba had a faster method to get to where he was going, a subterranean method that would let him surpass Wadolius who was in front of him.

But they were not traveling alone, he had to take into consideration the twenty-five slave rats running behind him. If he and Wadolius decided to go at their full speed, those slave rats wouldn't be able to keep up.

Besides, creating a tunnel at this moment was not ideal. He preferred to reserve his energy in case he needed to escape, although he doubted that.

With the preparation Prince Xu Ying had made for them, he doubted anyone in his forest would be prepared for it.

Thinking of the special preparation Xu Ying had made for them, Baba looked back with a look of pity on his lion face.

Behind him, twenty-five rats, each the size of a German shepherd dog, ran on all fours or more.

Some jumped from the trees, from one branch to another, trying hard to keep up with the two massive lions in front of them.

The fastest rats were those with blue electricity coursing over their bodies and those with muscular statures. These two sets of rats easily outran their peers, closing up to Baba.

But despite their speed, they couldn't catch up to Baba, or they didn't dare to. That look of pity that Baba had just given them, made them sad about their upcoming fate.

Even then, they were sure that the look of pity on Baba's face would disappear the moment they matched his speed.

That would be a direct slap to the esteemed lion's face. He was already slowing himself down out of consideration for them, an act of kindness that was rare among lions.

Trying to run beside him would just make him mad and turn whatever pity he had for them into instant aggression.

Their instincts that had been honed for millions of years screamed at them to not dare enrage their masters.

An instinct which they didn't want…

Above the trees, far up in the sky, two figures flew side by side beneath the clouds.

One of the figures was Isaiah in his large crane form. His black and white feathers fluttered as the night wind blew through them.

His two massive wings flapped with grace, occasionally twisting the space around him. He could be at the mountain in a few minutes, he could open a series of portals and he would make it to his desired destination, but the sweet taste of revenge was what prevented him from doing so.

He had to be patient.

Beside him was a large lioness covered in black fur and feathers. Her large black wings flapped gently with as little movement as could be thought of, yet the amount of gust she generated with those little wing flaps was terrifying.

Her two front paws were tucked in under her belly and her hind limbs were pushed back, improving her aerodynamics.

Her big hazel eyes stared down with a mixture of boredom and excitement, as though she was tired of the journey and wanted to be at their destination as soon as possible.

She looked down to see Baba and Wadolius running close to each other, she sighed when she saw them knock down some trees. As expected of large lions, they liked to throw their weight around at any chance they got, something they did subconsciously.

Her sharp eyes then trailed the twenty-five rats running behind the two lions. Her eyes caught the little glowing runes that had been etched on their backs.

She pitied these rat slaves, the preparations Xu Ying had made just to protect the three of them was nothing short of pure ruthlessness.

Each of these rat slaves was valuable and comparable to tier 2 lions. However, the part of heaven she came from was not kind to the weak tier 2 lions and these rats were numerous.

Anywhere other than 'that' heaven and anything comparable to a tier 2 lion could be a standard force.

Yet, just to ensure the protection and success of Chloe, Baba, and Wadolius, Xu Ying had turned these rat slaves into suicide fighters.

Indeed, Xu Ying had rigged each rat to explode when they died. This meant that each of these twenty-five rats was a living bomb that would detonate the moment they ceased to live.

This preparation by Xu Ying was also made full proof because of the training and psychological brainwashing each rat had undergone before becoming a slave. They were all trained and imbued with instincts that made them follow the orders of their masters to death.

Xu Ying's final command was to ensure the survival and success of each lion, even if it meant having to risk their lives.

One could already predict how troublesome this force would be in the coming hours.

"We should stop to rest after some time, they need to preserve their energy," Chloe sent a telepathic message to Isaiah.

By 'they', she was referring to the rats. It was very important to not mistake Chloe's pity for sympathy. If the tears didn't rest, how would they be effective when sacrificing their lives for her?

Isaiah heard the message and nodded his head. He did not mistake Chloe's words for a suggestion, that was clearly an order.

The crane looked down to see the two lions and the twenty-five rats slaves. He could see the runes on the backs of the rats and shivered anytime he thought about the use of those runes.

Isiah had taken advantage of Adolf's intoxicated state to subtly inquire about the use of those runes. He was careful to ask it in such a way that didn't draw suspicion.

Adolf, being as high as the moon, wasn't able to think too deeply about his words. He told Isaiah that those runes were basically used to turn the rats into explosives that would detonate upon death.

Isaiah was only happy that the rune on his shoulder was triangular and different compared to the rectangular runes on the rats. At least, on the surface, it seemed like he wasn't also etched with the suicide bomb rune.

But Isiah did not trust Xu Ying one bit, that scheming and dangerously intelligent lion was not to be trusted at all. Till now, Isiah did not know what exactly the rune on his shoulder was for.

"Tell me more about this Kael," Chloe asked.

"Oh," Isiah thought for a moment, this was his chance to do some last-minute manipulations.

"Well, like I've told you guys before, Kael is a weak-willed lion who tends to hide behind his lionesses and the animals that share land with him…" Isaiah paused, allowing the damage to set in.

As expected, Chloe frowned. Never did she imagine that the words 'weak-willed' and 'lion' would be used in the same sentence; it gave her a nauseating feeling.

"Go on," She said, knowing that Isaiah was not done talking.

"Kael doesn't seem to know about your culture. I'm guessing that it is because he was born in this world, away from the royal lion race.

You would have to get to him before he can take cover and you may have to be fast about it too. Kael has a lot of tricks up his sleeves, and he is pampered by his lionesses.

If you want to get him to learn about the Lion Culture, talking is useless. I'm afraid you will have to be more direct and dirty your paws," Isaiah said.

Chloe digested Isaiah's words but said nothing else. There was a faint flicker of suspicion that flashed through her eyes, but she hid it with a blink.

Isaiah felt a shiver down his spine after he saw that look in Chloe's eyes.

"Isaiah, you know I love bird meat right?" Chloe asked.

Isaiah swallowed his saliva, reinforcing his mind with whatever mental steel he had left, "Yes."

"Good,"

Chloe needed not to talk too much, her threat had been delivered.
